"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Seriously. I've been on a hot streak of warnings lately. I love early morning cops.

But seriously, no one would get a warning or any other kind of break for going 118, let alone having the car smell like weed, etc. (although once a Grand Rapids cop gave me a warning for going 102 because I said I was late for an interview, so maybe this isn't ridiculous)

This has been all over the news out here (in Portland). From what I hear, the video posted above, the cop actually called his supe and asked what he should do. The big question now is whether these guys got some sort of preferential treatment. Ask yourself this question...

If I got pulled over for doing 118 (and more like 130+), I didn't have a licence, the car smelled like weed and it was rented by someone other than myself, would I expect to spend some time in jail?

Answer: Hell Yes!

I truly believe that there is something fishy going on here, but in the land of the "Ducks" this type of stuff just gets swept under the rug because there's someone who can foot the bill to keep this kind of stuff quiet...make your own judgements on who that might be. Maybe there's a little bit of JT hypocracy here too!?!

You can't get in trouble for your car smelling like weed (at least not in Michigan). If you just cruised a blunt and there's no roach, no weed, no paranaphelia, etc., you can't get in trouble. You're probably just gonna get hassled, get your car searched and be on your way.

What I find funny is that the cop, in this circumstance, had to call someone and ask what he shuold do -- saying something like "I don't know what to do". How about you use your best moral judgement...you're a cop, afterall.

For automobiles, the officer just needs reasonable grounds to believe that criminal activity has taken place. The smell of weed allows him to search for weed. The smell of booze lets him search for open containers.

Oregon might have stricter state Constitutional restrictions, though, so I dunno.

Station in Portland claims that Darron Thomas is 3 for 3. Indications are he has been a passenger on 3 separate occasions when another Ducks player has been pulled over and this is not the first time marijuana was suspected. Chip Kelly says he is and was aware of the situation - he knows the truth and there is nothing to worry about......good to know

I for see Chip Kelly handling this situation the same way Brian Kelly handled the Floyd situation: He'll come out talking tough about the punishment being "All or nothing" and in the end it will be, of course, nothing.
